2/3 cup shortening
2 2/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and grated
2/3 cup raisins
2/3 cup water
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
2/3 cup chopped nuts, optional
8 pint size, wide mouth canning jars, with lids and rings
...be SURE to use only tempered, wide mouth canning jars,
...if the jar has a neck, the cake will not come out
Sterilize jars, rings and lids by boiling them for 10 minutes.
Remove jars to drain, air dry and cool. Leave rings and lids
in hot water until ready to use.
Grease the inside of cooled jars generously with margarine.
Remove the top baking rack of the oven. Place other rack
in the middle of the oven, and place a baking sheet on that.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shortening, sugar and eggs.
Add apples, raisins and water.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking
powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Add to apple mixture, mixing well. Add nuts, if using.
Fill jars 1/2 full with batter. Bake for 45 minutes without
the lids.
Remove jars one at a time. Wipe jar edge with a moist paper
towel. Seal jars with lids and screw rings down tightly. The
jars will seal as they cool.
To check on seal, push on lid...it should not move.
Makes 8 jars, 5 slices per jar.
To serve, slide cake out of jar and slice.
Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
